Don’t get caught up in the minor things, excuses that you make for yourself. My best life was the life in which I was okay with imperfections. If there was one piece of advice I wished my younger self knew it would be: “Accept those imperfections because the things harming you the most are the perfections.”
And reading Wattpad romances isn’t going to make fantasies any more of reality than they are fiction. Escaping reality can only ever be temporary. Yet, dreams give us a powerful insight of our minds. We all dream of perfect things, a perfect life, a perfect companion when life itself isn’t perfect. We aren’t perfect. The irony is that in chasing perfection, we only find more imperfection.
So live life as it should be. Or with a scrutiny. Whatever it takes that makes you the happiest. Separate fiction from reality.
